Divorce

Getting through divorce.

Divorce is one of the most difficult life events that you can go through. Not only do you face the end of a significant relationship and numerous heightened emotions, you also have to transition into life as a single individual again and will face a range of complex legal issues in the process.

Child custody hurdles.

Whether you are the primary physical custodian or the nonprimary caregiver, our law firm will ensure that your custody rights are protected. We can discuss options in physical and legal custody, and help you maintain an important presence and decision-making ability in your children’s lives.

Dividing your assets.

Dividing a marital estate during a divorce is one of the most complex and highly contested issues. Our law firm can help you conduct a comprehensive inventory of your marital estate, including real property, bank accounts, retirement and investment accounts, as well as all debts and liabilities.

Throughout the duration of your case, we will provide regular status updates and are prepared to answer new questions as they arise. We understand this is a stressful time for you, and being able to speak to your lawyer sooner rather than later will help put your mind at ease. When you call, if Attorney Pershan is not immediately available, she will respond quickly.

One of the most important steps will be to determine what is marital property and what is separate. If there are issues of commingling these two, we are prepared to help you trace the assets.

In terms of divorce, Connecticut is an equitable division state. This means the division of property will be fair, but not necessarily equal. Once we establish the ownership of all property, we provide close guidance on reasonable property division goals, and develop a solid strategy to help you obtain them.

Our law firm advocates for negotiated or mediated property settlement agreements, in order to save our clients the time and money associated with trial. However, in the event that a mutual agreement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to litigate at trial.

Attorney Pershan can also help you address the issue of temporary and permanent alimony. Whether you are the higher wage-earning spouse, or if you are the one seeking spousal support, she will help ensure your financial rights are protected.
